When your wife
thinks you should apologize
you should.
If she says you’ve hurt her
don’t doubt her
Come with flowers
(even dandelions)
Embrace her
Just admit
you didn’t realize
that your actions
would be received so badly
Just apologize
and mean it
and everything
will be fine.
Next time,
when your wife hurts you,
you can tell her,
and she’ll apologize
to you.

Are you sure it works both ways 🙂
I’m sure it works both ways, except that the husband seems to rarely acknowledge when his feelings are hurt, and prefers to just be grumpy. Not mine, of course. Mine is perfect. ((cough))
Sure 🙂 I believe you 🙂
“Happy wife”=”Happy life”. Nice poem. 🙂
Absolutely. Definitely a good mantra!
Reblogged this on Jesus The Coner Stone and commented:
True
We don’t hurt each other to start with 🙂
It can happens inadvertently, but it happens.
It happens twice nightly with my neighbours LOL
Hopefully quietly? (Somehow I’m doubting that)
Great writing by the way, Shawn
Thanks.
Good advice!
Good Advice is so generally ignored, though. 😉
Let’s just post this on every refrigerator and bathroom mirror across the globe, don’t you think?
lol
It’s not easy to be pragmatic while you are angry but it will always save and strengthen your relationship.
I will keep that in mind. 😀
Avoid anger. I like the mantra, “The first one to get angry loses.” It applies universally!
Lovely poem. I’ve known people who try to make up for hurting someone (through gifts, etc.) but who never admit their wrong-doing or apologize. An apology is definitely better!
Or those who do neither, and just expect the loved one will ‘get over it.’
Could not have said it better!
Thanks
